Stayed here when we were attending a nearby wedding. Excellent room and quick and friendly check in. Breakfast adequate, typical hotel fare. Whilst we didn't spend much time in the hotel, we would use it against if necessary. The big surprise, when we opened the patio window curtains , was the view over the Football pitch. Very impressive!!

I have stayed here a few times, and always feel impressed by the level of service and friendliness of the staff. Rooms are very comfy and clean, and facilities at the hotel are first class. Ample parking also. Highly recommended.

This hotel was booked for my parents to visit their new grand daughter, whilst booking a suite for the weekend we where told sorry but the other reservation agent had booked the last one...no worries as the double deluxe rooms where just as good!
On arrival all went ok, receptionist needed to call the duty manager over to confirm what room was booked, which was a little worrying.
Sadly disappointed to discover that the double deluxe room was really a larger standard room, with a 1980's TV, nothing in the way of modern deluxe facilities like many other hotels (audio, espresso coffee, power shower etc, etc).
To close I would say this hotel is very dated and needs more TLC to bring to the standards of many hotels, and we are left disappointed that our attempt to ensure my parents had a deluxe room was nothing more than a larger room akin to Premier Inn.

I didn't make the connection from the photograph that the "Whites" Hotel in Bolton is actually within the Reebok Stadium of Bolton Wanderers. It is a modern 4 star hotel, with all the facilities a traveller could want for a day or two, although not sure I'd want to stay longer. Parking is good during the week but obviously becomes problematic on match days. Internet was robust and tea and coffee in room. Public areas very nice and staff very helpful. The view from my room was over the pitch which was a unusual but not unwelcome. The only downside of this hotel was the room itself, and especially the bathroom, as it was more like a no-frills Travelodge or Premier Inn. I had an executive room, so I cannot imagine what the standard room was like. It was small and furnature was it felt just like a budget hotel. My Rating - Room : Average / Pool - Didn't use facilites / Location - Away from the city centre, isolated without a car / Room Rate - Good / Breakfast - Excellent, but charged extra at £10.50 a day. I would stay here again, as colleages tell me than in Bolton this is as good as it gets!

The location in the soccer ground gives it a buzz - some rooms can see the ground. Rooms new and clean, limited storage, poor lighting for my wife's make up (why do so many hotel chains always get this wrong?), an electric heater provided in May as well as main heating system, a few noisy guests. Food below average. The whole team including bar and restaurant staff superb. Great location next to huge shopping and food area, motorway and also train station almost on the doorstep. Plenty of car parking.
Some rooms have a few stairs for access only - we had very heavy luggage and had to struggle.

Stayed for 3 nights while visiting family. Room was on the 5th floor. Very quiet which I liked. Had to pay £8 for the cooked breakfast which was okay and nothing fancy. Plenty of parking space. Free wifi in the room.

We stayed on 14/06/14
Upon arrival the lady at reception was very welcoming, and very helpful. Very clean and all staff I seen was more than polite.
We was given a room on the road side , absolutely no problems with noise of traffic and we kept window open all night at that.
Was one of the best nights sleep id had in a long time comfy pillows !
Room was very clean and spacious.
Only been back 3 hours and booked for another night in 2 weeks time.
I Recommend this hotel to everybody.

I had a room booked in this hotel , the reservation was made by my company
The reservation was for 7 nights. The amount of 900 pounds was blocked on my card before I had any say in it. I find this an affront. Apparently the lobby staff could not unblock this amount and they were only following "rules". Enough to say I did not stay so I can not comment on the Hotel internals. I was promised that the monies will be unblocked the next day. Let's see.
The comment by the young reception said it all ( to her colleague ) " could you please show me how to check in someone for more than one night"!!!

I Can’t quite believe it’s taken me this long to getting round to writing a review… my apologies.
So in total I spent a total of SEVEN Months consecutively residing at the Bolton Whites hotel and it was a very pleasant experience. Coming off the back of Spending 14 months in a hotel I had high expectations and I’m sure more than one ‘unusual’ request. I have to say the staff here met this with a fantastic attitude and proactive approach.
Service- As far as the service goes I cannot fault anything in this department. The staff here really went above and beyond the call to accommodate not just me as a ‘long stay’ but I noted several nice extra touches done for guests staying simply for a night or weekend. I feel if you have a little request you should definitely ask as they are very accommodating!
Value- Very hard for me to judge this as it was a business stay. I originally did feel the food was a touch pricy however the reflections menu and quality of food is exactly spot on for price. There has however been a fantastic addition of a carvery option which is a Bargain for what it costs so I would urge Sunday travellers to book in for that.
Sleep Quality- Excellent! I spent a few weeks in a pitch view room and the remainder in executive room and had no problems sleeping. The noise elimination is fantastic and I even slept through a couple of matches playing right outside my window as you will see from pictures. This is nothing to do with the quality of football I assure you I was just working nights.
Cleanliness- I owe a massive thank you to the cleaning department. The hotel was fresh as ever and I had a fantastic double act who’s names escape me. if you’re on the 6th floor around room 621 and some Portuguese ladies are cleaning your room… be nice and smile. They are amazing and do a fantastic job!
Location- One of my little sore points is that it is a little in the middle of nowhere. Now in terms of shopping, food, attractions like cinema bowling etc it is PERFECTLY located and within a 10 minute walk you will be in touching distance of everything you need including a train station with direct links to Manchester. However if it is a night out you’re after it will be a cab job back.
Rooms- I cannot say enough as they speak for themselves. If you can…. GET A PITCH VIEW ROOM! It’s just a unique and different experience that I would advise above and beyond a suite in all honesty. Many hotels have suites…. Not many can have you wake up and open the curtains to some hallowed turf!
Spa- I did not actually use the spa facilities as I can’t swim but I used the gym on several occasions. It is quite small however it has what you need and the gym team are more than willing to give a hand and advice.
Breakfast- what can I say about breakfast and the F&B team. In fact the catering side as a whole and bar staff were a god send. The food is great and always plenty on offer. Requests can be made for food choices and odd extras (I must have had 1000 cups and jugs of ice brought over). The team really was fantastic and I appreciate everything they do. Special mentions for Kevin, Lee, Vera, Olivia, Charmaine & Tamsen among many more.
In General I would like to say a thank you to Emma, ‘Uncle Buck’, Suzanne, Claire & Adam who really did do the hotel proud. There are several I haven’t mentioned but I’m conscious this is getting to be a long review but the front of house team were excellent, always positive irrespective of what was going on and the night porters came in handy on many an occasion.
I would recommend anyone considering staying to discount my words as proof and simply see for yourself.
